Abstract

Disclosed is a mountable lighting module that uses solar energy to charge a power source for LEDs used in night illumination of both sides of a double-faced sign with the mountable lighting module comprising housing for the electronics conjoined with a clamp for mounting to a sign support and a pair of sign illuminating members with each extending over opposing sides of the sign directly illuminating the sign's copy area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1. A portable solar powered sign-light comprising:
 a) a housing having a compartment with a circuit incorporating circuit board and electronic components configured so that a rechargeable power source within said housing can be switch-selectively engaged to illuminate a pair of LED's; 
 b) solar cells fixedly positioned on a top surface of said housing as a recharging component for said rechargeable power source; 
 c) said rechargeable power source comprising at least one rechargeable battery for illuminating said pair of LED's; 
 d) a pair of elongated lamp supports, one for each LED, fastened to and extending from sides of said housing and in electrical communication with said circuit; 
 e) a horizontal sign support with a double-faced sign suspended from said horizontal sign support; 
 f) a clamping member attached to and extending from a bottom of said housing, said clamping member comprising a pair of L-shaped members with top plates of said L shaped members engaging top side of said horizontal sign support and with spaced parallel plates of said L-shaped members straddling both sides of said horizontal sign support, said LED's directing beams toward sides of said sign, respectively, for shining light on both sides of said sign; and 
 g) said L-shaped members being slidably movable apart adjust spacing between said parallel plates to accommodate horizontal sign supports of different width.
